Xan and Minsc, hands down my two favourites. Having them both is especially amusing even though they have no banter specific to either. It's just funny having one person so completely excited to be out adventuring, and another being so pessimistic about the whole thing.
1. With NPC Project Imoen without then Minsc (and Boo) are my classic favorites, though I always loved Ajantis and Kivan as a cool good cop/bad cop team up. I also need to give points to how entertaining Edwin, Xzar and Montaron were. I think Monty is the most under-rated character in the game. His voice and his lines are awesome.
2. Keldorn, Minsc/Imoen and Yoshimo in that order. Keldorn was different being an older character and I loved seeing someone actually be Lawful Good rather than Naive Good or Lawful Stupid. His class and persona made him the coolest to my 14 yo self. loved his line "we shall strike a blow deep into evils heart... there is no more worthy a cause) Minsc is Minsc and Imoen is your sister. Yoshimo would be higher if he didn't have the second half of his story. His voice acting: incredible. His lines/personality: amusing and cool His class kit: super awesome. His portrait: badass Finally... the TOB only NPC was awesome and rocked my socks off when I first recruited him. His progression through the game with your ability to change his outlook was something I enjoyed, though I know a lot of other people found it meh. I thought that he really fit into the story at that point, and the epicness of the events in that game needed a character like that.
Of the new NPCs, Rasaad is adorably endearing. Of the old ones, Coran was one suave and ridiculously useful character to have around. Xan also made me laugh a lot

BGII: Yoshimo
Yeah you guys can probably imagine how annoyed I am at BioWare.

BG1: Dorn, also Viconia.
BG2: Mazzy. So much cooler than the actual paladins.
Many BG characters are painful fantasy/D&D stereotypes, but I still enjoy the ones listed above.
